President director of Indonesian state-run electricity provider PT PLN, Darmawan Prasodjo, has welcomed an invitation by the Tanzanian government to build an electricity system in the East African region. PLN sees potential business opportunities that can be developed with stakeholders in Tanzania, according to a statement received on Saturday. He noted that this is not the first time the company will collaborate with international parties in investment and electricity grid construction. PLN has earlier cooperated with stakeholders in China, Japan, Malaysia, and South Korea.
According to Prasodjo, PLN is currently transforming its business. Thus, it will develop the electricity system and manage its assets outside the electricity sector. Meanwhile, PLN Nusantara Power has entered into investment cooperation with a company from the United Arab Emirates, Masdar, to develop new and renewable energy at Cirata floating solar panel plant. Meanwhile, Makamba said that Tanzania is committed to supporting global emission reductions. He added that considering the current economic and investment growth in Tanzania, the region needs a reliable electricity supply. PLN’s track record is well-known. It makes us confident that PLN can provide us with reliable electricity.”
The clean energy development and digital transformation carried out by PLN were a strong reason for Tanzania to choose it as a partner in developing electricity in the East African region, the Tanzanian minister noted. According to him, Tanzania has water and geothermal resources, which have the potential to be developed as sources of energy for power plants.
